One facet of Earth Green’s energy that may be difficult for coworkers to understand is its tendency to become defensive and stubborn if challenged under pressure. Earth Green may also wonder why their blood pressure shoots up when a simple question is asked during a high-pressure situation, unless it possesses a certain level of self-awareness. Many people have found clarity when they become familiar with the Insights Color description that best fits them. In this second blog of my series of four on the Insights Colors, I want to focus on the energy Earth Green, the supporter.
Earth Green is mostly concerned with one to one relationships and support. Knowing that people rely on its support is very important to Earth Green. Earth Green is loyal and persistent and defensive of its values, however it is also introverted so practices loyalty with quiet determination.
Earth Green brings important strengths to the table. This energy is very supportive, non-judgmental, and makes coworkers feel at ease allowing them the comfort to say what they need to say in a meeting. Coworkers feel this way because Earth Green is very skilled at relating to others, so no matter the idea, it can always find something useful about it.
It is important for Earth Green to build self awareness so it knows what it wants, recognizes when it’s time to do something for itself, and to set meaningful goals in its life. Earth Green’s desire for everyone else to be as insightful as itself can confuse coworkers. If Earth Green is clear about its goals, desires, and when it needs to focus on something for itself, coworkers will have a clear understanding of how to work effectively with Earth Green energy. Remember, we can’t expect other energies to understand us without explaining our internal processes! Also, when they do understand us, we can’t control how they treat us. Self-awareness is important so we can understand our feelings that bubble up and can deal with them as rational professionals.
Do you know someone who sounds like they might relate to the Earth Green color energy? Maybe it’s you! It’s fun and meaningful to discuss our traits with friends, family, and coworkers and so important to be able to explain to them, “That’s why I do that!” Scheduling your Insights Discovery seminar today will strengthen relationships within your organization by breaking down the walls of misunderstanding.
